Re: Forwarding a text message to an email address

Simon:

This is really not something I would be interested in having.

The only reason I want to forward the text to an email was because I was 
sending it to someone who’s phone did not support text messages.

Interesting to look into though.  Don’t know if iPhone has anything like it.

Hi Holly,

That’s not what I was thinking of,

Interesting though, as I said Samsung had something like this built in to their 
Samsung phones.

But this one sounds like a workable option if it’s available to the iPhone.

I've been using "Mighty Text" for several years. There is a free version but
you're limited to the number of texts that you can send each month. I pay
for the pro version which includes unlimited texts. I was paying $8.99 a

Sorry for the delayed reply. I find the chat

Windows laptop to be a bit querky.  Each time I 
use it I have to figure it out again; the rest of 
the session goes smoothly enough.

Hi,

In case anyone is interested, I did buy the ChirpOmAtic app. It is generally 
accessible with a couple of caveats. I did not try recording any birds because 
it is a hot muggy day around here.

Here are a couple of issues. Here is the biggest one. When you start the app 
Voiceover does not come out of the speaker. It is as though you are on a phone 
call. If you press the home button and come out of the app and go back in then 
voiceover comes out of the speaker. (I did not try with headphones to see what 
would happen.) I am thinking that this happens because the app wants to use the 
microphone, and so it puts any sound on the phone to the ear piece. This is 
fixable, but strange!

Most of the controls are fine, but some of them are labeled with words with no 
spaces. For instance on the first page there is a control that is labeled 
“taptorecord.”

The app does have a reference section where you can hear various birds. This 
section has a letter index and a search that is accessible and works. On the 
page where you hear the birds songs/calls there is a description of the sound 
just as there is in the “Chirp! Bird Song & calls USA” app. However, if you 
want to read the description of the song/call, you have to hunt a bit toward 
the bottom right of the screen.

Take care!

Hi,

It looks as though the ChirpOmAtic and the one I suggested “Chirp USA” are from 
the same developer. By the way, I just looked in the app store, and the one I 
recommended is listed as “chirp! Bird songs & calls USA.” I looked up what I 
paid, and it was $3.95 in December, 2016. Because it is on my phone, I can’t 
tell if the price has changed.

I think I am going to get the “ChirpOMAtic” and try it out. Although birds 
aren’t really singing as much this time of year in my suburban environment. It 
will be interesting to see how it handles multiple birds.

Take care!

I wonder about these apps when you have multiple birds singing at the same time.
I’m not sure any of them could be all that accurate.

It’s too bad they don’t have a trial period.
Like you Bill, I would not buy an app without knowing it worked with VoiceOver 
at the very least.

Hi,

It looks as though the ChirpOmAtic and the one I suggested “Chirp USA” are from 
the same developer. By the way, I just looked in the app store, and the one I 
recommended is listed as “chirp! Bird songs & calls USA.” I looked up what I 
paid, and it was $3.95 in December, 2016. Because it is on my phone, I can’t 
tell if the price has changed.

I think I am going to get the “ChirpOMAtic” and try it out. Although birds 
aren’t really singing as much this time of year in my suburban environment. It 
will be interesting to see how it handles multiple birds.

Take care!

Debby

I wonder about these apps when you have multiple birds singing at the same time.
I’m not sure any of them could be all that accurate.

It’s too bad they don’t have a trial period.
Like you Bill, I would not buy an app without knowing it worked with VoiceOver 
at the very least.

I haven't used the Chirpomatic app in a year. I tried using the app on an 
iPhone 7. The recordings were very low in their volume, unless the bird was 
very close, like in a tree just above my head. I hope this has been fixed.

Xfinity is great if you have their internet. 

We were on Consumer cellular before Xfinity offered their plan.

Consumer cellular was quite affordable and very good customer service.

I suggest calling the various companies.

I know Consumer Cellular will give you all the details up front.

Verizon does have an accessibility department, so maybe they would be more 
helpful.

I don't have much experience with anyone else.

Thanks for your review of this one.  I will give it a try.

The Bird Song ID app I have tried also lowers the volume as soon as you tap on 
the tab for recording bird songs, so yes, it would seem it may have something 
to do with the microphone.  Headphones do work fine with this.

Hi,

In case anyone is interested, I did buy the ChirpOmAtic app. It is generally 
accessible with a couple of caveats. I did not try recording any birds because 
it is a hot muggy day around here.

Here are a couple of issues. Here is the biggest one. When you start the app 
Voiceover does not come out of the speaker. It is as though you are on a phone 
call. If you press the home button and come out of the app and go back in then 
voiceover comes out of the speaker. (I did not try with headphones to see what 
would happen.) I am thinking that this happens because the app wants to use the 
microphone, and so it puts any sound on the phone to the ear piece. This is 
fixable, but strange!

Most of the controls are fine, but some of them are labeled with words with no 
spaces. For instance on the first page there is a control that is labeled 
“taptorecord.”

The app does have a reference section where you can hear various birds. This 
section has a letter index and a search that is accessible and works. On the 
page where you hear the birds songs/calls there is a description of the sound 
just as there is in the “Chirp! Bird Song & calls USA” app. However, if you 
want to read the description of the song/call, you have to hunt a bit toward 
the bottom right of the screen.

Take care!

I think I am going to get the “ChirpOMAtic” and try it out. Although birds 
aren’t really singing as much this time of year in my suburban environment. It 
will be interesting to see how it handles multiple birds. 

 

Take care!

I wonder about these apps when you have multiple birds singing at the same time.

I’m not sure any of them could be all that accurate.

 

It’s too bad they don’t have a trial period.

Like you Bill, I would not buy an app without knowing it worked with VoiceOver 
at the very least.

I am likewise interested in an app that can identify birds by their calls with 
a reasonable degree of accuracy.  I live in northern Wisconsin and as I sit 
outside listening to the cacauphony of bird calls surrounding me I’d like to 
know which species are so garciously treating me to Nature’s symphony.

 

I went to the web site listed by Richard and found an app named ChirpOMatic but 
wonder if it is accessible.  It costs $3.95 and I am sufficiently cheap that I 
do not want to throw away that amount.

 

Can anybody tell me if ChirpOMatic is accessible to a totally blind person?

Xfinity is great if you have their internet. 

We were on Consumer cellular before Xfinity offered their plan.

Consumer cellular was quite affordable and very good customer service.

I suggest calling the various companies.

I know Consumer Cellular will give you all the details up front.

Verizon does have an accessibility department, so maybe they would be more 
helpful.

I don't have much experience with anyone else.

you have the subject line set to show in Settings / Message app?

I am not sure why this would work for you, if I forward a text message and

and I have no subject field at all, it is sent as a text message and not as 
an email and I can't even use my main email address as it is registered for

It would be different if there were a "Share" button which would allow you

RE: Forwarding a text message to an email address

2020-07-19 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
I am not sure why this would work for you, if I forward a text message and type 
my email address as the recipient I see at the top "New MMS Message" and I have 
no subject field at all, it is sent as a text message and not as an email and I 
can't even use my main email address as it is registered for iMessages and if I 
use it the message is just forwarded to me as an iMessage.
It would be different if there were a "Share" button which would allow you to 
select "Mail"" as the method to share a text message, but the Forward function 
as far as I can tell only works when sending it as a text message.

This is how I forward a text message to an email address if the email address 
is in my iPhone contacts:

1. Double tap the unopen text message, swipe up / down to, More, and double tap.

2. Swipe right to, Forward, and double tap.  This puts me on the, To field, so 
swipe right to, Add contact button double tap to open.

3. Locate the contact and double tap, find the desired email address and double 
tap, swipe to the, subject line and enter something into the field.

4. Swipe to, Send, and double tap.
Note:  when you receive the text message it will be an attachment to the email.

Voice Dream Scanner read my CSV number, but it did not identify it as CSV, it 
just read the digits.  Because I know what it is, I recognized it, but if you 
did not know it, OCR is probably not going to be that helpful.
Maybe your bank has an app that you can securely get that information.

Hi List,

 

I did a Google search and was not encouraged with the results regarding AT 
and Accessibility support. They do have a National Center for Customers with 
Disabilities and its phone number is 866-241-6568. However, this center appears 
to be for those with hearing or speech impairments who are unable to use the 
regular voice network. They have a special rate plan for those who are 
qualified and certified to have the requisite impairment and the application 
form to apply can be found at this website:

I accessed another website where they had contact phone numbers posted to see 
if they had an Accessibility Customer Support phone number but was discouraged 
to see that each of those numbers were housed in separate images that 
Fusion/JAWS would not read.

 

If anyone else has better information regarding AT Accessibility customer

RE: Accessible and Accurate Bird Song Identification App

2020-07-19 Thread Debby 
Hi,

 

It looks as though the ChirpOmAtic and the one I suggested “Chirp USA” are from 
the same developer. By the way, I just looked in the app store, and the one I 
recommended is listed as “chirp! Bird songs & calls USA.” I looked up what I 
paid, and it was $3.95 in December, 2016. Because it is on my phone,  I can’t 
tell if the price has changed.

 

I think I am going to get the “CirPOMAtic” and try it out. Although birds 
aren’t really singing as much this time of year in my suburban environment. It 
will be interesting to see how it handles multiple birds. 

 

Take care!

I wonder about these apps when you have multiple birds singing at the same time.

I’m not sure any of them could be all that accurate.

 

It’s too bad they don’t have a trial period.

Like you Bill, I would not buy an app without knowing it worked with VoiceOver 
at the very least.

RE: Accessible and Accurate Bird Song Identification App

2020-07-19 Thread Richard Turner 
I wonder about these apps when you have multiple birds singing at the same time.
I’m not sure any of them could be all that accurate.

Its too bad they don’t have a trial period.
Like you Bill, I would not buy an app without knowing it worked with VoiceOver 
at the very least.

We were on Consumer cellular before Xfinity offered their plan.

Consumer cellular was quite affordable and very good customer

I suggest calling the various companies.

Verizon does have an accessibility department, so maybe they

Think amazon, Google and Microsoft has an accessibility phone number.

Xfinity is great if you have their internet.

We were on Consumer cellular before Xfinity offered their plan.

Consumer cellular was quite affordable and very good customer service.

I suggest calling the various companies.

I know Consumer Cellular will give you all the details up front.

Verizon does have an accessibility department, so maybe they would be 
more helpful.


I don't have much experience with anyone else.

Harry,
Autocorrect does not work from a braille display.
That has been reported to Apple, but you should write accessibil...@apple.com 
as well.
You apparently can use the rotor to check misspelled words but press space+q to 
start quicknav when you want to do that.

Hi Kellie,

I don't really have an answer because like you Lyft is working for me on my SE 
2020. When he puts in the information what does he see on the screen? When I 
put in the information, I only put in the street number and a few letters of 
the street name. I don't tap the search button. The list of possible addresses 
show up.

Good luck! Take care!

hey everyone, I wanted to come out here and see if anyone is experiencing the 
same weird issue that my husband is having with the Lyft app. so, if he is 
going to input a Destiination that he has not been to recently and doesn’t pop 
up in the list of possible choices, he goes to search for a new address and 
when you put the address in voice over refuses to speak any of the results. 
Never used to do this but it is now. Oddly enough though, my phone is not 
having that problem neither my 11 Pro nor 8+ which I had before and he 
currently has. 
The app has been updated to the most recent version, he has also tried deleting 
and reinstalling it several times and yet he still having the same problem. Yet 
I can go in and search for a new location and book the ride with no problems. 
Can anyone figure out what or why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks 
in advance

pricing.  Thank goodness for the accessibility line.  When I tried calling 
the regular number, I was given this message about the reduced staff due to 
COVID and pretty much given the only option of clicking on a link they 
texted to me to do an online chat session.  I hung up and called the 
accessibility line and got a person after maybe a 10 minute wait.

  Xfinity is great if you have their internet.

  We were on Consumer cellular before Xfinity offered their plan.

  Consumer cellular was quite affordable and very good customer service.

  I suggest calling the various companies.

  I know Consumer Cellular will give you all the details up front.

  Verizon does have an accessibility department, so maybe they would be more 
helpful.

  I don't have much experience with anyone else.

Verizon’s site. It’s like they are hiding the various pricing on calling 
plans.   Am I missing something?  For those who have shopped around, what is 
your method?  I’m inclined to go to a store to at least get some answers, 
but haven’t had the time.



Any advice is appreciated.  I looked at Xfinity Mobile, which is at 
least easier to navigate, but it looks like you have to have their internet 
service, which I do not.

RE: Forwarding a text message to an email address

2020-07-19 Thread Simon A Fogarty 
Hi Holly,

Yes that is probably right,

I do know that Samsung had a feature in their android phones that allowed you 
to set that up so that all text messages were automatically sent on as / to 
emails.

I have tried this years ago with I think it was a Samsung galaxy s4 may be,
But it was a long time ago.

I can’t see why they wouldn’t have kept it in their phones.

Simon:

My computer tech has a Samsung, and he gets all his text messages sent to his 
PC.  I am not sure if it is automatic, or if it is a program he has downloaded.

Re: Typing programs for learning to type for Mac?

2020-07-19 Thread Devin Prater 
The thing I kinda don’t like about Keystroke is that it doesn’t really keep 
track of stuff. I mean, it’s a nice little thing, and maybe it’ll work for your 
client, but Typing Club gives you hints on where keys are, keeps track of how 
fast you type and stuff, and is continuously being updated. Your client will 
need to know how to navigate with VoiceOver when they use Typing Club, and turn 
off VoiceOver, or mute speech, when the lesson begins, but that’s all they need 
to do. A client of mine used it successfully, but that was in an educational 
setting where we enabled screen reader option “accessibility, blind mode”, for 
them. But I was also able to do that on a test account I made as well.

Now, I will say that Typing Club isn’t Typability. It doesn’t go on long 
descriptions of where to find keys initially, which is something I’ve brought 
up to them, but it does well for a web app made by a company that isn’t 
specifically an AT company.
